Broken Arrow vs Providence Blue paint color comparison

Broken Arrow vs Providence Blue

Broken Arrow and Providence Blue come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Broken Arrow belongs to the beige-greige family and Providence Blue to the blue-grey family. The 18-point LRV gap — 37 for Broken Arrow vs 19 for Providence Blue — means Broken Arrow will open up a space more effectively. Where Broken Arrow leans red, Providence Blue reads blue — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 28.8 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
